The basic features of IPv6 have been
tested and deployed in various experimental/trial networks. Some specific aspects, such as
transition, peering and always-on have been tested in the P1009 project. There is however
little experience of some of the newer features of IPv6 that are still being standardized.
This project will investigate via practically deploying an IPv6 network between the
project partners a selection of these new features (Addressing, DNS, Mobile IP, Network
Security etc.) and help to answer the deployment issues that arrive when deploying IPv6 in
a multi provider environment.

What are the main objectives of this
Project?

The setup of a network environment with new IPv6 features.

Gain experience and single out problems in the deployment of
the recently released standards in an operational multi-provider environment which will be
set up by all providers in the coming years.

The case for new IPv6 services built on these features will
be investigated.

Sample applications for such ISP services will be
demonstrated.

The test bed built up in Armstrong will be used and expanded
by the new project.

What are the key results of this
Project?

Strategies towards the provision of new IPv6 specific
Internet services for large Service Providers in a European context.

Identification of technical issues for deployment of new
IPv6 features in an inter-provider environment and proposed solutions, which might be
provided as a feedback to the appropriate IETF working groups and the participating ISPs.

Sample applications for new IPv6 features.

A test bed, built up in EURESCOM project Armstrong, and
expanded by this project.

What relationship exists to other
organisations or bodies?

The
project reuses results from EURESCOM project Armstrong (P1009). Results will be provided
for relevant IETF working groups.
